Haggai and Malachi: A Theological Exposition of Sacred Scripture (Concordia Commentary | CC)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Brian T. German, associate professor and chair of the Department of Theology at Concordia University Wisconsin and director of the Concordia Bible Institute, details literary themes, historical insights, and New Testament connections for Haggai and Malachi. Explore a rigorous analysis of Haggai's exhortation to rebuild the temple and Malachi's concern with the practices therein—both revealing the standard to which God calls His church.
The Concordia Commentary Series: A Theological Exposition of Sacred Scripture is written to enable pastors and teachers of the Word to proclaim the Gospel with greater insight, clarity, and faithfulness to the divine intent of the Biblical text.
The series will cover all the canonical books of the Old and New Testament, with an original translation and meticulous grammatical analysis of the Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek of each text. The foremost interpretive lens centers on the unified proclamation of the person and work of Christ across every Scriptural book.
The Commentary fully affirms the divine inspiration, inerrancy, and authority of Scripture; Each passage bears witness to the confession that God has reconciled the world to Himself through the incarnation, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ His Son.
Authors expose the rich treasury of language, imagery, and thematic content of the Scripture while supplementing their work with additional research in archaeology, history, and extrabiblical literature. Throughout, God’s Word emanates from authors' careful attention and inculcates the ongoing life of the Church in Word, Sacrament, and daily confession.

The Concordia Commentary series is one of the great biblical resources of our time. Like other contributions to this series, Brian T. German’s Haggai and Malachi combines exhaustive grammatical and historical analysis with rich Christological-theological reflection. The festive oracles of the exile and after speak directly to today’s church. German has given us a wonderful resource to help pastors apply these prophets with accuracy and power, in the confidence that Scripture is “a figural guide for the church of all times and places.
—Dr. Peter Leithart, President, Theopolis Institute, Birmingham, Alabama
Both Haggai and Malachi are abiding guides for how to faithfully build up the church as we prepare for God’s coming. Zeroing in on the figural dimensions of these two minor prophets, Brian German writes a confessional commentary in the best sense of that term— by doing justice to the canonical shape and theological significance of both books for today’s people of God. German faithfully serves in line with Haggai and Malachi as a messenger called by God to build up his church.
